Letter to LA City Council to ban the National Anthem in schools and city venues

I sent a letter to the Los Angeles City Council with regard to banning the National Anthem for city and LAUSD activities. 14 of the 15 councilmembers are Democrat; only one (Councilman Englander) is GOP. Here is the letter:

"Dear Honorable Councilmembers (not including Englander):

It has been demonstrably shown the the National Anthem of the United States, authored by slaveholder and white supremacist Francis Scott Key, is the cause for great turmoil for many Los Angeles citizens, particularly those of color and most immigrants. Therefore, the council should immediately ban the performance of the National Anthem from all public events, schools, institutions, and other venues, including the professional sports teams that play within the city limits at publicly funded venues (the county and the state will have to supply permission for the Coliseum). Please consider this ban on an immediate basis.

In addition, consider banning the Pledge of Allegiance in its entirety from LAUSD venues, and to remove the US flag from all classrooms.

Thank you for your attention."


Hopefully I'll get a response, and at least start the conversation that needs to happen

BLM boycott against NFL working BIGTIME!

Black Lives Matter is one powerful organization, and I'm proud, along with all other progressive allies, to parther with their just organization. Their call to boycott paid HUGE dividends. In LA, they couldn't even sell out a 27,000 seat stadium, which most tiny colleges can do with ease. In addition, they can only fill half of another stadium. In total, the COMBINED attendance of both the LA Rams and the LA Chargers couldn't even reach the attendance of the USC Trojans vs Texas Longhorns game.

Without any doubt, BLM, along with all its sister progressive organizations are proving to be one LETHAL force in the side of the white oppressionist Republicans. The Drumpf Administration had better be absolutely fearful, because this is a DIRECT indictment of the entire white supremacist culture that has permeated the entire planet for the past half millennium. Let's continue the transformation of the US from a capitalist oppressive system to that of an integrated component of a true globalist progressive culture.
